    Can you say "death penalty"? I see no reason for those adults to continue
    breathing.

    definitely a waste of good oxygen

    It seems there's a story just like this one every week. Where the hell do
    these people come from?

    People like this shouldn't be allowed to procreate.

    The gutter, apparently. A few years back a woman in this area was arrested
    after she left her young child in a locked car on a very hot day while she
    spent a few hours in a bar. In that instance I don't think the child died,
    although they often do in situations like this. Hell, I wouldn't even leave
    my *dog* (when I had one) in a car with the windows cracked while I ran into
    a store to pick up a few items. It's just nuts! We all know how hot it
    gets inside a parked car.

    I think I need to tone down my sick sense of humor. This past weekend, my
    son drove us to a few stores so he could get yet MORE clothing, and the last
    stop was the grocery store. He loves food, but he hates grocery stores, so
    he stayed out in the car, listening to music and yakking to his girlfriend
    on the cell phone. While I was in the store, my cell phone rang. I wanted to
    get out of the store fast, so I told the person on the other end "Let me
    call you back in a few. I'm in Wegman's, and I left the baby in the car".
    The person knows my son's 18. But, the lady standing about 10 feet away gave
    me SUCH a look! :-)

    Or, not :-) I guess context is important.

    For what? Whom did they kill?

    They attempted to kill the child. You know that. It was intentional.

    Folks like that don't do much that's intentional.

    Well, I'll admit that I have an odd set of rules for people who threaten the
    safety of kids. This is the rule: No matter what the mind did or did not
    think, the body took the action. The body should be terminated. This is what
    mother bears do when cubs are threatened, and mother bears are much smarter
    than humans.

    How times have changed. I think what they did was wrong. It used to be
    safe to leave a child in the car.

    I used to regularly threaten my kids if they didn't behave in the
    stupidmarket they would have to wait in the car. This was in the mid
    60's. Couldn't do that any more!

    Relative to the possibility of kidnapping or worse, it might've been safer.
    But, in terms of heat, it was never safe.

    Kids that die in hot cars are referred to as "Lil' Sizzlers"...

    I grew up in Florida in the late 1950's and the 1960's. It was *nothing* to
    be left unattended in the car; in fact, when given the choice, my younger
    sister preferred to wait in the car rather than being dragged to whatever
    mind-numbing activity my parents had in mind. Temperatures were usually in
    the nineties in the summertime. So what? We lived in a hot climate; we were
    acclimated to it. The story clearly states that the temperature in Ringgold
    was in the eighties that day -- not even CLOSE to unhealthy.

    Yeah, the kid was sweating: It was hot, but not dangerously so.

    A car parked in the sun when it's 90 can easily reach 120 to 140
    degrees. This is heat stroke temperature, and isn't just dangerous, it
    could be fatal. 235 kids have died from this since 1998:

    Simpler solution-don't have kids.

    There have been who knows how many incidents of children dying after being
    left in daycare vans. The daycare workers didn't bother to check to make
    sure all the kids were off the van. In the last 10 years it's been a major
    problem in Memphis.
